Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005] Possibly 2005 - 2010

Richard Misrach's "Untitled [New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, 2005]" is a poignant photograph documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The boarded-up windows of a brick house in New Orleans are covered in spray paint, including the hopeful message "RESCUED." Misrach's work often focuses on the landscape and the impact of human intervention, capturing the vulnerability and resilience of communities in the face of disaster. This photograph, likely taken between 2005 and 2010, serves as a stark reminder of the devastating effects of natural disasters and the human spirit's enduring strength.
